Ask Dr.
Greenberg

Are you wondering if breast augmentation is right for you, right now? Experienced and board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Scott Greenberg can help you decide if this cosmetic procedure is the right way to look and feel your best. During your consultation, we will discuss all aspects of breast enhancement with you:

During each stage of your life, you will face different obstacles to achieving your best look. However, committing to the right cosmetic surgery at the right time can ensure that you improve your appearance when it is most beneficial to you and can be enjoyed for the longest time after.

During Your Twenties and Thirties

During your twenties and thirties, you will be far less concerned with covering up the signs of aging than you will be with achieving the comfort and confidence you want in your body. At this stage of life, we see a lot of patients who are ready to make subtle changes that make a dramatic difference in how they look and feel. You may be interested in improving your look with:

Post-Weight Loss Plastic Surgery

Although you can lose a significant amount of weight at any time during life, many adults undergo a major weight loss transformation as they approach thirty and beyond. While some body types will have more success with skin shrinking back around your thinner form, most patients need some surgical intervention to remove excess skin and fat after a significant weight loss. Dr. Greenberg can help you achieve the final results you’ve worked so hard for with body contouring and body lift procedures.

During Your Forties and Fifties

As you age, the effects of time will begin to show on your face and body. Your metabolism slows down and you may notice some stubborn fat deposits that will not respond to diet and exercise. You also may notice gravity pulling down on your face and body in ways that you really wish it wouldn’t. You will likely be ready to rejuvenate your appearance with plastic surgery procedures, such as:

Undergoing plastic surgery procedures at a younger age can help you maintain your youthful looks for longer.

After Sixty

As you mature, the signs of aging continue to crease your face and introduce sagging into places that were once firm. Our older patients can benefit from many of the same procedures as our younger patients do. Your final results will depend on your unique body composition, but we are confident you will love your more youthful look.

Breast reduction provides our Florida patients long-lasting results. For women, breast reduction can alleviate back and shoulder pain and leave you with smaller, well-proportioned breasts for your figure. For men, gynecomastia can alleviate the embarrassment of living with enlarged breasts.

Breast reduction permanently removes excess fat and tissue from the breast region; however, some factors can alter your results over time:

Weight gain. Gaining weight will add fullness back to your breasts and may require additional surgery to remedy.

Weight loss. Losing weight can cause breast tissue to sag. For women, you may want to consider a breast lift after a significant weight loss in order to return your breasts to a more youthful position.

Pregnancy. The shape of your breasts will change during your pregnancy and may result in sagging and a loss in volume. A mommy makeover can help you restore your pre-motherhood body.

Hormonal changes. Other hormonal changes due to age or certain medications can affect the shape and consistency of your breasts.

If you have been staring at your latest Instagram pictures thinking that your profile might look better with a different nose, there are a few things you should consider.

There is no perfect nose. Although Kate Middleton may seem like she has it, the truth is you might look quite strange with her nose or anyone else’s. The goal of rhinoplasty is not to give you a perfect nose. The goal of a great nose reshaping surgery is to balance your nose with your features and provide a new, more flattering definition to your facial appearance.

You need to plan for recovery time. Although with modern surgical techniques, your nose surgery is as comfortable and quick as possible, you will still need time to recover. Your body takes time to heal, and in the case of rhinoplasty, you will need to take about a week away from work for your initial recovery and be prepared to see a swollen nose in the mirror for a few weeks. Most swelling will subside within the first 2-4 weeks, but your final results can take a few months. Be patient. It’s worth the wait.

Manage your expectations for the most satisfying results. It is important to talk honestly with your plastic surgeon about your goals for nose surgery and what changes to your appearance are realistic to accomplish with surgery. Your genetics and your basic nasal structure limit the degree of change that is possible. Knowing what to expect before surgery can help you love your results!

Springtime in the Orlando area means the temps are heating up and the rainy season is soon to come. Humidity is rising. So what can you do to revamp your skin care routine for spring? Here are a few tips:

Encourage cell turnover: Whisk away the dead skin cells to encourage a rejuvenated, vibrant look. Use an exfoliating cleanser 1-3 times a week. Microdermabrasion is a great way to remove the surface layer of dead, polluted skin cells and to stimulate blood flow to the outer layer of skin.

Use a lighter moisturizer: Because springtime in Florida is not as dry as the winter, you don't need the same heavy moisturizers. Lighter moisturizers will prevent clogged pores and breakouts.

Cleanse gently: Oil production will increase as the climate gets hotter and more humid. Consider using a gentle cleanser that is designed to reduce oil. But you may want to use this only a few times a week – be careful not to strip your skin of protective oils.

The FDA announced on March 21st that a link has been discovered between breast implants and ALCL, an extremely rare form of cancer. Occurring in approximately 0.01% of women who have undergone breast augmentation, this type of cancer is marked by swelling of the lymph nodes, fever, fatigue, loss of appetite, and backache – all issues that should be brought to the attention of board-certified Orlando plastic surgeon Dr. Scott Greenberg should they occur following placement of your implants. When caught in its earliest stages, ALCL is often treatable simply by removing the breast implant and surrounding capsule, though some case may require chemotherapy or radiation therapy to fully treat.

There are risks associated with any plastic surgery procedure. Risks of developing ALCL following breast augmentation is among them, but is so rare as to hardly warrant a mention. However, because we believe that women deserve to have full information about the risks and benefits of their chosen procedure, Dr. Greenberg will be happy to discuss, openly and honestly, ALCL and all other potential complications during your initial consultation. Having this information allows you to make the decision you feel is best for your body, your needs, and your life.

Is it possible to develop cancer following breast augmentation? Yes. Is it likely? No. This doesn’t mean that it shouldn’t be a consideration, particularly for women with a family history of rare cancers. During your initial consultation Dr. Greenberg will review your medical history, discuss the risks and benefits of breast augmentation, and help you determine if the procedure is a good fit for your needs.

Three facial rejuvenation procedures – rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty, and facelift – were among the most commonly performed plastic surgery procedures in 2016. While nose surgery and eyelid lift remained at the number three and four spots respectively, facelift had been edged out of the top five by abdominoplasty in 2015. 2016 marks its return to the top five, with a 4% increase over the previous year.

Some speculate that the increase in facial rejuvenation procedures is linked to social media and the growing popularity of selfies. However, individual reasons for seeking plastic surgery are often more complex than that. If you are unhappy with your appearance and are interested in learning what plastic surgery can do for you, please call our Winter Park office at 407-982-4391 to schedule a consultation with our board-certified plastic surgeon today.

Liposuction saw the biggest increase with 6% growth over 2015. Nose reshaping and eyelid surgery both saw a 2% increase. Breast augmentation, which has been the most popular procedure for several years running, increased by 4%.

Dr. Greenberg offers a complete selection of breast, body, and facial rejuvenation procedures at our Winter Park cosmetic surgery facility. Working with each patient individually, Dr. Greenberg takes time to carefully plan and perform these procedures for the most desirable outcomes.

Tummy tuck surgery, also known as abdominoplasty, is an incredibly effective way to restore a slim, toned, and more attractive midsection. With abdominoplasty, Orlando plastic surgeon Dr. Scott Greenberg can eliminate loose and sagging skin, remove stubborn pockets of fat, and tighten abdominal muscles that have become weak and separated – all of which can contribute to a stronger and more appealing physique. In the process, stretch marks may be reduced or entirely removed, although this is different for every patient. What you can realistically expect from your tummy tuck surgery is best discussed in person with Dr. Greenberg at our Winter Park, Florida plastic surgery office.

Stretch marks happen when skin is rapidly stretched. This can be caused by growth spurts during puberty, but also from pregnancy and weight gain. Once present, stretch marks may fade somewhat on their own, but some indication of their existence is likely permanent. That is, unless the lined skin is removed from the body during a surgical procedure such as tummy tuck.

During tummy tuck surgery, our board-certified plastic surgeon will eliminate loose and sagging skin from the midsection. When excessive and unnecessary skin is removed, the stretch marks marring it are removed as well. While this is different than a cure for stretch marks, it can be an effective way to get rid of them and, when proper care is taken of the body after abdominoplasty, prevent them from coming back. This, along with the many other aesthetic and physical benefits of tummy tuck surgery can be discussed in full during your plastic surgery consultation with Dr. Greenberg.
